Isaiah 59
1 Surely the arm of the LORD is not too short to save, nor His ear too dull to hear.
Khang hamla BOEIPA kut loh ngun pawt tih a yaak ham a hna a bing moenih.
2 But your iniquities have built barriers between you and your God, and your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He does not hear.
Tedae nangmih kathaesainah he tuiphih rhaboe la nangmih laklo neh na Pathen laklo ah om. A yaak ham akhaw nangmih kah tholhnah kongah ni nangmih taeng lamkah maelhmai a thuh.
3 For your hands are stained with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, and your tongue mutters injustice.
Na kut ah thii neh, na kutdawn te thaesainah neh nok uh. Na hmuilai loh a honghi a thui tih na ol te dumlai la muep.
4 No one calls for justice; no one pleads his case honestly. They rely on empty pleas; they tell lies; they conceive mischief and give birth to iniquity.
Duengnah neh aka khue pawt tih uepomnah neh lai aka tloek pawt tah, hinghong dongah pangtung tih a poeyoek la cal. Thakthaenah a yom tih boethae a cun.
5 They hatch the eggs of vipers and weave a spider’s web. Whoever eats their eggs will die; crack one open, and a viper is hatched.
Rhulthae duei te a khaeh uh tih bumba rhui a yen uh. A duei aka ca tah duek. A hep vaengah rhulthae la khae.
6 Their cobwebs cannot be made into clothing, and they cannot cover themselves with their works. Their deeds are sinful deeds, and acts of violence are in their hands.
Amih kah rhui te himbai la poeh hae pawt tih amamih kah bibi nen khaw khuk uh tloel. Amih kah khoboe khaw boethae kah khoboe ni. A kut dongkah bisai khaw kuthlahnah ni.
7 Their feet run to evil; they are swift to shed innocent blood. Their thoughts are sinful thoughts; ruin and destruction lie in their wake.
A kho te boethae taengla yong paitok tih ommongsitoe kah thii kingling ham tokthuet uh. Amih kopoek he boethae kah kopoek neh rhoelrhanah ni. Amih kah longpuei ah pocinah om.
8 The way of peace they have not known, and there is no justice in their tracks. They have turned them into crooked paths; no one who treads on them will know peace.
Rhoepnah longpuei te ming uh pawt tih a namtlak ah tiktamnah om pawh. A hawn te amamih taengla a kawn sak uh tih a sokah aka pah boeih loh rhoepnah ming voel pawh.
9 Therefore justice is far from us, and righteousness does not reach us. We hope for light, but there is darkness; for brightness, but we walk in gloom.
Te dongah tiktamnah he mamih lamloh lakhla tih duengnah loh mamih ng'kae voel pawh. Vangnah te n'lamtawn uh dae hmuep coeng ke. Khosaeng yueng la khohmuep ah m'pongpa uh.
10 Like the blind, we feel our way along the wall, groping like those without eyes. We stumble at midday as in the twilight; among the vigorous we are like the dead.
Mikdael bangla pangbueng m'phatuem uh tih mik aka mueh bangla m'phatuem uh. Khothun ah khaw hlaemhmah bangla, thaom thathueng lakli ah hlang duek bangla m'paloe uh.
11 We all growl like bears and moan like doves. We hope for justice, but find none, for salvation, but it is far from us.
Mamih he vom bangla boeih n'kawk uh tih vahui bangla n'tuk la n'tuk uh. Tiktamnah te n'lamtawn dae om voel pawt tih khangnah khaw mamih lamloh hla coeng.
12 For our transgressions are multiplied before You, and our sins testify against us. Our transgressions are indeed with us, and we know our iniquities:
Kaimih kah boekoek he na hmaiah pung tih kaimih kah tholhnah tah kamamih taengah phoe coeng. Mamih kah boekoek he mamih taengah om tih mamih kathaesainah te khaw m'ming uh.
13 rebelling and denying the LORD, turning away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering lies from the heart.
BOEIPA taengah boekoek neh basa tih mamih kah Pathen hnuk lamloh balkhong coeng. Hnaemtaeknah neh a cal phoeiah koeknah la vawn tih a lungbuei lamkah a honghi ol te a thuep.
14 So justice is turned away, and righteousness stands at a distance. For truth has stumbled in the public square, and honesty cannot enter.
Tiktamnah loh a hnuk la balkhong coeng tih duengnah loh a hlahloei ah pai. Oltak khaw toltung ah paloe tih oldueng loh a kun ham coeng pawh.
15 Truth is missing, and whoever turns from evil becomes prey. The LORD looked and was displeased that there was no justice.
Oltak aka om te a hmaai tih boethae lamkah aka nong khaw a buem hnap. Tedae tiktamnah a tal te BOEIPA loh a hmuh vaengah a mik ah a lolh pah.
16 He saw that there was no man; He was amazed that there was no one to intercede. So His own arm brought salvation, and His own righteousness sustained Him.
Hlang a om pawt te a hmuh vaengah a doo pawt te khaw hal coeng. Tedae amah ham khaw amah bantha long ni a khang pah tih a duengnah long ni amah a talong.
17 He put on righteousness like a breastplate, and the helmet of salvation on His head; He put on garments of vengeance and wrapped Himself in a cloak of zeal.
Duengnah te caempho la a bai tih, khangnah lumuek te a lu dongah a muek. Phulohnah himbai te hnicu la a bai tih thatlainah neh hnikul bangla khuk uh.
18 So He will repay according to their deeds: fury to His enemies, retribution to His foes, and recompense to the islands.
A khoboe bangla kosi te a rhal taengah, a thaphu te a thunkha taengah a thuung tangloeng ni. Sanglak rhoek taengah khaw a thaphu te a thuung ni.
19 So shall they fear the name of the LORD where the sun sets, and His glory where it rises. For He will come like a raging flood, driven by the breath of the LORD.
BOEIPA ming te khotlak lamloh, a thangpomnah te khomik khocuk lamloh a rhih uh ni. Hlang aka va tuiva bangla ha pawk vaengah anih te BOEIPA mueihla loh a rhaelrham sak.
20 “The Redeemer will come to Zion, to those in Jacob who turn from transgression,”
Aka tlan kung loh Zion neh boekoek aka mael tak Jakob te a paan ni. BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
21 “As for Me, this is My covenant with them,” says the LORD. “My Spirit will not depart from you, and My words that I have put in your mouth will not depart from your mouth or from the mouths of your children and grandchildren, from now on and forevermore,” says the LORD.
Kamah kah paipi he kamah long ni amih taengah ka khueh. BOEIPA loh, “Ka mueihla he nang soah, ka ol he na ka dongah ka khueh vetih na ka lamloh, na tiingan kah ka lamloh, na tiingan kah tiingan patoeng kah ka lamkah khaw nong mahpawh,” a ti. BOEIPA loh tahae lamkah neh kumhal ham ni a thui.
